The future or gaming? Well, of course online will be there in some form or other, but not as we know it now. It's too complicated and trouble some, they need to work out a better way. Voice recognintion is included in that, it's going to be there, later when the technology is there and it's easy to use.
Either way you know Nintendo is more than likely going to be leading the pack. I'm not sure about the NGC controler, it just makes gaming easier and more intuitive, but I'm sure that Nintendo knows where games are heading, or where they should be heading. And I highly doubt it has anything to do with the Sony or MS vision.
Well, RPG to an extent is every genre right now anyway. That's basically what game playing is all about. To role play as another person or character. But online RPGs as they are now won't pull it off. They're having good success on PCs but the PC market is completely different from the console one and you never know how well a game like that will integrate, if at all.
It's very hard to say where games are heading in this generation because it's doubtfull that they will change much from what we already know other than becoming more emersive, diversified and catering a different experience to each player. That's about as far as we can go with the technology on hand. The next time technology goes through a hige shift, like between 2D and 3D, we'll have a better understanding of what's to come but that won't happen for a while, we're talking a few more generations at least.
That's what I think.
What do you think???

There's been so many repetetive Future of Gaming posts that hardly anyone even read this one properly even though it wasn't too bad.
My tip.
Never call somthing the Future of Gaming. A far too unoriginal title!

Hang on Grix! Although the title is hardly original, I haven't heard a topic about voice recognition before and atleast it wasn't another one of those damn:
Console wars: WHO WILL WIN?
I think that voice recognition will come around. During the days of the Mega Drive was the 2D platform ERA.
With the 32/64 bit consoles came the 3D ERA.
With the Dreamcast and the broadband modems will come the online mulitplay ERA and after that will come the voice recognition ERA.
And then if I'm right, the Hologram ERA will follow.

Prbably the sign 'E3' which I think might be quite big...
Probably quite a few large people about too...

So what do you reckon the big thing at E3 will be then?

Um...Huh? Sorry,
> Your Honour, but that doesn't make any sense.
What i meant was that Nintendo are releasing the 'Cube as a gemas only machine. I thought that it wasnte going to have a modem, although this seems now to be undecided. So i was wondering how Nintendo could bring about the future of online gamine if their console isnt even going to be capable of it.
